Division of Social Work
School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy
Guide to Assist in Development of Learning Plan for Foundation Year of MSW Field Placement
The schema offered below lists the 10 core competencies of the MSW program at the University of Memphis (with the tenth section
being divided into 4 sub-sections). Each section begins with a statement of the competency itself, followed by 1-2 bulleted points that
provide a framework for better understanding our conceptualization of the concept at hand, followed by a list of 1-6 practice behaviors
intended to manifest that specific competency. In developing the student’s learning plan, please address each practice behavior by
listing at least 2-3 activities in which the student will engage in order to develop and/or demonstrate proficiency with respect to this
area of competence.
In supporting your efforts in meeting this request, we list below examples and suggestions of some possible activities / objectives you
might consider in completing the learning plan for your student. Because no two agencies are exactly alike, we invite you to adapt this
information as necessary to fit the specific field program at your agency. Please note that one activity may be used to demonstrate
multiple practice behaviors. In the schema below, the far right column is used to suggest some of these possibilities. Please use these
as appropriate to your agency.
